Before Church and State: A Study of Social Order in the Kingdom of St. Louis IX (Andrew Jones)
In which I (mostly) criticize integralism, and in which, when this article was first published four years ago, the outlines of Foundationalism are becoming apparent. (This article was first published December 22, 2018.)

"Like Diogenes searching for an honest man, I spend my days searching for a useful political program. Necessarily rejecting all Left philosophies as anti-human and anti-reality, I go searching through the thickets on the Right, where of late various new approaches have arisen, to accompany various old ones that are getting fresh attention. They do not get much older than the one espoused in this book, Catholic integralism—versions of the idea, in essence, that church and state should be cooperative joint actors in pursuit of a flourishing society, rather than separate spheres of action. There is a lot to be said for this approach, but as always, its modern proponents spend too much time talking about the past, and too little on how elements of this approach could be used to build the future." . . .
